Hi Nick,
As indicated in my post of a few weeks ago, I'd like to support typed
data in apr_dbd. I posted a patch that would change (and break) the
API. Since apr_dbd hasn't yet featured in a release version, there was
no absolute reason not to.
I am not familiar with the existing purpose behind the apr_dbd
interface, but it strikes me as odd that apr needs to incorporate a
complex DB abstraction layer; a simple string based layer, like libsdb
(lgpl), would suffice for most needs.
Also, if a complex layer is needed, what is the advantage of building
a new one for apr; could libdbi (libdbi) or sqlrelay be used instead?
All you mentioned is either LGPL or GPL, which are not acceptable for
projects want to be using Apache or BSD-like license.
Another goal is to make sure portability and light. sqlrelay has
additional dependency and not available for Windows.
My 2 cents.
Cheers,
Henry
